Description

Set of index cards describing the local features of the townland of Garroman [An Gharmain]. The first card relays accounts from different histories of Galway about the residents of Garroman from the mid-nineteenth century. An account of a monastery in Garroman exists. Local features described include Glendollagh House, of which hardly a trace exists in the present day. A detailed history of its ownership is given on these cards. Gleann dá Loch, Loch an Aifrinn, Loch na mBreac Mór, Loch an Ghiolcaigh, Fairy Hill, Loch na Sáinne, Glendollagh Fishery, Lady Dudley's Nurse's Cottage, Imleach Bharr an tSrutháin, Imleach Láir, Imleach na Seamar, Garroman Lodge, the police barracks, lochán na meacan, loch uí mhainnín, loch an imligh eise, and Garroman lake are included in the descriptions. Local sources of information are local man Tom Joyce, Annie Joyce of Leitir Seanadh, Kevin Joyce, Martin O'Malley of Ballinafad, and Joe Mannion of Garroman.
